Lay-offs and shuffling affect Interplay's development house.

By IGN Staff

Bad news from Comic-con this year -- 14 Degrees East, one of the development arms of Interplay, has laid off eight employees, and is moving around six other employees to other divisions. What this means in terms of development is that there will only be one team within 14 Degrees East, who are currently working on Star Trek: New Worlds. Remaining resources are being devoted to externally developed titles like Starfleet Command 2 and Fallout Tactics.

This shuffling will also affect future work on Klingon Academy, which means that any hope for patches or additions to the game are, at this point, pretty slim. We'll keep you up to date on future developments as we hear more.
